NBDL Pulls the Cover Over Non-adidas Brands

While some notable players have successfully transitioned from the NBDL to the NBA, the everyday basketball fan probably knows little about the NBDL and its players. Well, for those of you who don’t know, the NBA has afforded the adidas brand even more visibility than usual on the hardwood floor per the athletic partnership between both parties. While the adidas company provides sneakers for NBDL players, those who choose to wear any other brand’s footwear has been instructed to cover up appearances of the logo with the use of athletic tape. Now it becomes clear which players simply have a preference other than adidas and that adidas is willing to act with as much right as it has to overcome the competition. What are your thoughts?
